Loretta Lynn

For over four decades, Loretta has become artistically and commercially successful-and as culturally significant-as any female performer you'd care to name. Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The Coal Miner's Daughter-refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself- as she journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom, to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon.
